Comprehensive view before, during, and after the storm

AER clients receive forecasts of wind speed at an ultra-high resolution, which enables responders to assess the wind speeds at neighborhood level.

Only AER provides a comprehensive scientific viewpoint during the storm event when your analysts are under pressure to assess financial impacts and adjust operational response. We’re able to achieve this through deep expertise in numerical weather modeling, data integration, and downscaling.

Five days before landfall, with multiple updates throughout the day, AER provides independent and objective forecasts far more detailed and comprehensive than other sources. AER clients receive predictions of:

  • Strength and likely path
  • Detailed building level winds
  • Impact on housing stock
  • Impact on populations and infrastructure at the coast and far inland
  • Damaging winds that occur as the storm moves far inland
  • Updates on the causes and extent of hazards on a street by street basis
